Dr. Kevin Lindberg, TAMIU associate provost, said the Celebration notes a special time in the life of the TAMIU junior and senior students.
“Traditionally, the junior year signals a shift into students’ major area of study, along with new opportunities for internships, research and study abroad. Of course, the senior year is the final run to the end goal: graduation. This event is aimed at providing a forum for exploration of the junior and senior year to help keep students laser-focused on their end goal, and to make them aware of support and opportunities available and, of course, to celebrate their accomplishments to date,” Dr. Lindberg explained.
This is the first year the event has been offered.
